Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connector assembly for use with a coaxial cable. More particularly, the present invention relates to such a connector assembly which is useful, without limitation, with conventional antenna connectors such as those used in the automobile industry for radios.
  • a coaxial cable In many applications involving the use of a coaxial cable it is known to strip one or both ends of the cable to expose a length of the center conductor. Typically, a length of ground wire braid is then folded back upon the cable. In some instances, a metal sleeve is crimped to the outer peripheral PVC surface or jacket of the coaxial cable adjacent the stripped end and the ground wire braid is folded back upon such metal sleeve. A metal shell may also be provided adjacent the stripped end, the ground wire braid being sandwiched between the metal sleeve and the metal shell. Cables dressed in this manner are used, for example, with conventional antenna connectors such as those used in the automobile industry for radios.
  • each end of a coaxial cable prepared in this manner may have a respective connector such as a male or female connector mechanically and electrically attached thereto. It is known that if the ground wire braid is not dressed properly there may be a tendency for unsatisfactory grounding. Such unsatisfactory grounding may occur immediately during use of the antenna cable or be intermittent in nature and occur sometime in the future.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an improved connector assembly which is less costly than those fabricated heretofore.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method of grounding a cable.
  • a connector assembly which comprises an insulative housing and a conductive ground shell.

  • the conductive ground shell extends in the direction of a ground shell longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end and is constructed and arranged to mate with the insulative housing.
  • the conductive ground shell includes at least one leg insertable into a respective second passage of the insulative housing, such leg being bendable towards and away from the first passage for engaging and disengaging a ground wire braid, respectively.

  • Third passage 90 provides access to the contact 26 and cable 30 when they are inserted into the first passage 22 as described hereinafter.
  • An end 92 of the cable 30 is trimmed in a conventional manner to expose a length of the central conductor 34.
  • Contact 26 is inserted into the first passage 22 at end 48 of the insulative housing 10 to the extent that the conductor crimping tabs 38 are visible through the third opening 90, and the prong 36 extends outwardly from the insulative housing as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the end 92 of the cable 30 is inserted into the first recess 22 at end 94 of the insulative housing to the extent that the central conductor 34 overlaps the contact 26 in the vicinity of the conductor crimping tabs 38 and is visible through the third opening 90.
  • the contact 26 is electrically and mechanically connected to the cable 30 by crimping the conductor crimping tabs 38 into engagement with the central conductor 34.
